Why not? MikroTik devices are not expensive.

we can come up with simple smart idea wich solve the issue without buying such a device..

No, you can’t. That’s the whole point of everything that’s been added to this thread so far.

You asked how to stop someone from plugging a live network cable into a new laptop and from then accessing the internet. Unless you already have such devices that you can program to detect that new device and to then drop its packets, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

You can set up logging on your routers/switches and monitor those logs on a regular basis. That would let you catch it after it happened. And you can create a policy for your users to read and to agree to. That won’t stop it from happening, but it lets your users know the consequences. The policy must state the consequences and you must be prepared to enforce the policy, by terminating the users employment if necessary.

Otherwise, you need to acquire capable devices (that can cost much more than the MikroTek devices; solid RSA DLP appliances can cost from $5000 US to over $10000 US each, plus software.). And you need to install them at the proper points on your network and configure them to do what you need.

That last one is a good start because it shows how simple things should be while covering most things you’ll be interested in for your question. It might only require a couple added sentences. You might also choose to drop some of it and make minor edits.

Sophos has a network control option that might do what you want.
